We had the pleasure of meeting Mr..

dealer in china, glassware, etc., Rich
mond, Va. His friends here are glad to
know that he is prospering.
The contractors have about completed
the new front to Mr.. L. II. Seel's building,
and they certainly have made neat job
of it, for Mr. Seel now has one of the
handsomest buildings in. the city. Some
of the other property owners on the
SQUARE should follow Mr.. Seers example.
Broyles Postoffice, which has been for
several years past located at the residence
of Mrs. Mary A. Broyles, in Fork Town
ship. has been removed to the residence of
Mr.. John c. CAN'T, distance of half
mile from Mrs. Broyles' Persons get
ting their mail, at Broyles should note
this fact and govern themselves accord
ingly.
An Act to punish the stealing of melons
and fruit was passed at the last session of
the General Assembly. It provides that
whoever shall steal from the premises of
another any melons or fruits, whether
severed from the freehold or not, shall be
deemed guilty of misdemeanor, and, on
conviction thereof, shall be punished by
imprisonment for not more than thirty
days, or by fine of not more than fifty
dollars.
We invite the attention of our readers
to the advertisement of Messrs. Barton d
Townsend. If you contemplate building
you should not let out the contract before
seeing them. They keep constantly on
hand large lots of lumber, shingles and
other building material, which they will
sell cheap. These young men are ener-
getic and reliable, and any business en-
trusted to them will be attended to with
promptneas.
During the past few weeks Mrs. W. O.
Scott, of Brushy Creek Township, has
lost about one hundred and fifty small
chickens. at first she could not account
for it, and thought that perhaps weazel
was doing the mischief. She kept close
watch, and finally discovered that the
chickens were being killed by rats, num-
ber of which stayed around the stables.
The rats would catch the chickens and
carry them off alive.
An effort is being made to reorganize
the Palmetto Rifernen. tits proposed to
hold meeting some afternoon during

.Adjntant and Inspector General Bonham
will be present. We hope the effort will
prove success. Anderson has the mate
rial to make Almost; excellent military
company, and we should BY all means
have one. We hope every young man in
the city viii attend the meeting.

mencement of the term and his gradua-

liberal offer and worth the attention of
any young. man with a bent that.way.
